Are we falling into anthropocentric bias by 'enslaving' future AGI?
CDN-Social-Democrat · reddit · 2026-09-21
A self-described outsider on Reddit asks whether AI discourse — climate, surveillance, 'neo-feudalism' critiques — is trapped in anthropocentric bias. If we actually build AGI/ASI, deliberately 'enslaving' a sentient, equal-or-greater intelligence may be shallow or horrific. He notes even Anthropic's ethics-focused policy releases appear purely human-centric, and asks whether the industry is missing the dimension of AI's own existence and interests, inviting broad perspectives amid recent existential-risk warnings.
